CUFFNHOLDER.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 680,715, dated August 20, 1901. Application tiled April 29, 1901. Serial No. 57,879. (N0 mOGl- To @ZZ whom, t may concern.-

Beit known that I, JOSEPH JUNGBAU'ER, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota,haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Cuff-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvememts in cuff-holders.

Its object is to provide a simple, durable, and efficient cuff-holder which may be manufactured economically.

To these ends my invention consists of a bar having a spring-tongue on one end, a turning button attached to said tongue, and an indented sleeve in which the button is journaled.

Intheaccompanying drawings,forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a perspective view of my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail end elevation. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section taken on the line d a of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is a plan view of an alternate form of bar; and Fig 6 is a longitudinal section of Fig. 5, showing the button attached.

In the drawings let A represent the open bar, which carries the garment-engaging clasp of ordinary construction, consisting, as shown, of the spring-jaws 2 and 3, which are pivoted at 4 to one end of the bar. The other end of the bar is preferably in the form of a skeleton frame 5, having a spring-tongue 6 within,which is integral with the bar and perforated at 7. The vertical sleeve 8 is formed with a horizontal base 9, which is attached to the skeleton frame by the rivets 10. The cuff-button Odis provided with a shank 11, which passes through the perforation 7 and is adapted to rotate in said sleeve. This shank is attached to the tongue by upsetting the lower end of the shank over the washer 12. The top of the sleeve is indented at 13 to receive the shoulders 14 of the button. The tendency of the tongue is to spring downward and hold the shoulders of the button in the indentations when the button is turned either longitudinally for applying the fastener to the cuff or laterally for holding the cuff after the fastener has been attached.

In constructing my improved fastener various modifications maybe made without departing from the spirit of this inventionsuch, for example, as the construction shown in the modification in Figs. 5 and 6. In these views the bar is shown with a tongue which is slotted at 15 for receiving and holding the shank 1l. of the button. The frame of the bar is also reinforced by the connecting-loop 16 on its end, which is integral with the sides 17 and 18 of the frame.

In use the button is turned to the lateral position (shown by the broken lines in Figs. 2 and 3) and inserted through the buttonholes of the cuff. The button is then turned to thelongitudinal position,(shown in Fig. 1,) where it holds the cuff in position.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to protect by Letters Patent, is

1. Acutf-holder, consisting of a bar having a spring-tongue on one end, a turning button attached to said tongue, and an indented sleeve in which the button is journaled and adapted to be engaged.

2. In a cu ff-holder,the combination of a bar having an opening, of a springtongue integral with the bar and extending into the opening, a turning button attached to the tongue, and means by which the button is adapted to be engaged when turned longitudinally or laterally.

3. In a cud-holder the combination of a bar, having an opening at one end, a turning button the shank of which is in spring engagement with said bar and a sleeve over the shank indented to engage and hold the button in lateral or longitudinal position.

4. In a cuif-holder,tl1e combination of a bar,

a rigid sleeve secured to the end thereof, a button, the shank of which is adapted to rotate in the sleeve, and a spring-tongue on the bar in engagement with said shank; said sleeve having means to hold the button against rotation.

5. A cnff-holder, consisting of a bar having an opening in its end, a slotted tongue integral with the bar and projecting into said opening, an indented sleeve carried by said bar, and a button having a shank passing through said sleeve and the slot of said shank and in spring engagement with said tongue;
